And their new AWB. Isn't it obvious that it's impossible to kill anyone without an AR-15 and 8 or more bullets? If that wasn't the case then this law would be a completely pointless "feel good" measure designed to give a false sense of safety while doing nothing at all to curb gun crime.

Callous:Deep Contact: That's because of the new lower capacity magazine law.

They're not as fashion-conscious in Chicago as in New York. They will wear gloves and even mittens. When their mother tells them it's cold outside and they should put on a sweater, they put on a sweater. Chicago mothers are tough. They can beat you to death with your own arm. So I have heard.

New Yorkers are too cool for school. So they take every snow day they get.

This is a cool story, actually. For one thing, it involves a literal nine day wonder.

We usually just get the figurative kind, and they don't last nine days because the web news cycle is about three hours, judging from Fark headlines. This story is already old news to somebody who saw it before you did and is therefore better than you are.

In Florida, once temps drop below 40F or so at night, crime rates (across the board) plummet. Practically nothing happens when temps dip into the 20s.

It's not a lack of law enforcement though -- the cops are out picking off speeders left & right even when it's too damn cold outside. In a way it's poetic justice to watch the cop freeze his ass off to write a speeding ticket for a 20-30 minute traffic stop.

The media is having a field day over the gun debate. Did you hear, RESIDENTS of NEWTOWN were among the 1,000 demonstrators! A town of 27,000+ people. I'd rather know how many of the small group present actually had children at the school. I know in other towns of roughly the same population, there are a number of elementary schools. BUT THEY'RE FROM THE SAME TOWN.

skinink:I'm surprised that NYC's murder rate is lower than Baltimore's murder rate even though Baltimore is the smaller city.

Bunch of reasons, crime rates are dropping everywhere, but especially in bigger cities. I also think part of it is big cities are getting to be expensive places to live, that tends to push more marginal people out over time. Then there is the leaded gasoline theory.

What exactly is this leaded gasoline theory? Ive been hearing it mentioned several times. Care to explain?
